Kylian Mbappé is the reported October 2026 Laliga Player of the Month winner, but the result is not yet officially confirmed. EA FC 27 insiders identified the Real Madrid forward as the likely winner in reports published November 6. The five reported nominees were Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Gonçalo Guedes, Álex Grimaldo and Matías Dituro. Until Laliga or EA SPORTS confirms October, Raphinha (September 2026) remains the latest officially verified winner.
Last checked: November 8, 2026. October winner status: Mbappé reported by third-party EA FC 27 sources; official Laliga/EA SPORTS confirmation pending. This article separates the reported outcome from a confirmed award and will be revised when the official result is published.

Mbappé Reported as October 2026 POTM Winner: What We Know
November 6 reports: FUTFC says three EA FC 27 leakers—FutPoliceLeaks, AsyFutTrader and FutSheriff—identified Mbappé as October’s winner. FootballUltimateTeam also reported a leaked Mbappé POTM card. Both are third-party reports, not official Laliga statements.
- Reported winner: Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid.
- Official verification: No direct October winner announcement independently located on Laliga or EA SPORTS channels as of November 8.
- EA FC 27 card: Leaked/predicted card details are not proof of a confirmed award or an official SBC release.
The reporting is worth covering, but the article and our season-long award tracker will only switch October to confirmed after an official announcement.
Mbappé and Lamine Yamal: October League Form
Mbappé and Yamal have drawn the most attention in the coverage of October’s award. At the time the shortlist was reported, beIN SPORTS and Goal gave the following October league-performance snapshot:
| Reported October figures (Oct 29) | Kylian Mbappé | Lamine Yamal |
|---|---|---|
| League appearances | 3 | 3 |
| Goals | 4 | 1 |
| Assists | Not specified in month snapshot | 2 |
Data note: These are figures reported during the nomination coverage on October 29, not a claim about the final October 31 totals or an official scoring rubric. They do not determine the winner.
Real Madrid’s 2–1 El Clásico victory over Barcelona on October 25 was a major October talking point. For the end of October, see Barcelona’s 6–1 win over Alavés on October 31, when Yamal and Raphinha both scored twice. For subsequent league performances, see our Laliga Matchday 11 highlights and Real Madrid’s November 7 win at Valencia. The November match falls outside the October award period; current season totals are in our 2026/27 Laliga stats tracker. The other three candidates—Guedes, Grimaldo and Dituro—also appear on the reported shortlist; we are not assigning them unverified monthly totals.
Who Won the Previous Laliga Player of the Month Award?
Raphinha was the confirmed September 2026 winner, announced by Laliga on October 2 after seven goals and two assists across the month. He also won the August award.

When Will the October 2026 POTM Winner Be Announced?
As of the November 8, 2026 check, an official October winner announcement and its publication date were not independently verified on Laliga or EA SPORTS channels. The November 6 reports naming Mbappé are third-party accounts; a predicted announcement date or anticipated FC 27 SBC is not official confirmation. We will add the original award announcement, date and verified details when available.

October 2026 Laliga POTM FAQs
Kylian Mbappé is the reported winner according to November 6 EA FC 27 leak coverage, but no direct official Laliga or EA SPORTS confirmation was independently verified as of November 8. Raphinha (September) remains the latest officially confirmed winner.
The five nominees reported on October 29 are Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Gonçalo Guedes, Álex Grimaldo and Matías Dituro.
Not officially in the sources we reviewed. Several EA FC 27 leakers reported Mbappé as the winner on November 6, but third-party reports and leaked FUT cards should not be treated as a Laliga announcement.
We could not independently verify an official October announcement date as of November 8. Follow the official Laliga news feed for confirmation.
Conclusion
November 8 takeaway: Mbappé is now widely reported as October’s winner after November 6 EA FC 27 leaks. However, an official Laliga/EA SPORTS announcement could not be independently verified, so the award remains unconfirmed on this page. The existing URL will be updated with the final verified result.
